AI policy revised to describe editorial practice accurately
Notice dated 3 November 2026
The AI policy adopted in 2026 stated that editors did not use AI tools to evaluate manuscripts, select reviewers, or make editorial decisions, and that AI was limited to copyediting and formatting after acceptance. That did not fully describe practice. The editorial office has used an AI assistant to check and summarise submissions, suggest potential reviewers and board members, and draft correspondence. Editorial decisions have been made by the editor.
The AI policy and the peer review policy have been revised to state exactly how AI is used and where human editors remain responsible. No published article is affected.
Journal moved to jgpcm.org
Notice dated 25 September 2026
On 25 September 2026 the journal moved from journalofgpcm.netlify.app to its permanent domain, jgpcm.org. Old addresses redirect automatically. The article address printed on the cover page and in the footer of each Volume 1 article PDF was updated to match. The article text, page numbers, and citation details are unchanged. The journal's contact addresses are now editor@jgpcm.org and submissions@jgpcm.org.
Volume 1, Issue 1 reissued as individual article files
Notice dated 22 September 2026
Volume 1, Issue 1 (2025) was first published as a single PDF of the whole issue. On 22 September 2026 the journal reissued it as separate files, one for each article, so that each article has its own page, citation details, and PDF. The article text and page numbers are unchanged. The following changes were made to the files:
- Each article PDF now begins with a cover page giving the full citation, licence, and article address.
- A running production footer printed at the bottom of every page of the original file was removed. It read: "(CC) license for open access, which allows authors to retain copyright while giving the public free and permanent access. Articles published in the Journal of Global Perspectives in Communication and Media are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). Special thanks to OpenAi LLM for arrangement and other heavy-lifting". The licence information it contained now appears on each cover page and in a shorter footer.
- In the article metadata only, the start page of the final article was corrected from 143, as listed in the original table of contents, to 141, where the article begins; the name of the Nigerian Defence Academy was corrected; and one author's surname, printed as "Ohaj" in the original table of contents, is given as "Ohaja", as it appears in the article.
Publication date of Volume 1
The cover of the Volume 1 issue file carries the date 1 February 2025. The issue was in fact released in March 2025, and March 2025 is the publication date recorded for its articles here and in their citation metadata. Anyone who cited the issue as February 2025 has cited the date printed on the file, and either date identifies the same version.
The original issue file remains available, unchanged, for the record.
Disclosure of AI use in Volume 1
The layout and arrangement of the Volume 1 issue file were prepared with the help of an OpenAI large language model, as the removed footer acknowledged. At the time, the journal's previous website also stated that it used large language models to give authors feedback on their manuscripts. Some Volume 1 articles were reviewed by one reviewer rather than the two that the journal's peer review policy now requires. The journal's current AI policy applies from Volume 2.
Website moved
2026
The journal moved from its original website, hosted on Wix (journalofgpcm.wixsite.com/global-perspective-1), to journalofgpcm.netlify.app, and in September 2026 to its permanent address, jgpcm.org (see the notice above). Links to the Wix site may no longer work. If you cited a Volume 1 article using the old address, please use the article's page on this site instead; every article page lists its full citation.
